Top Ice Hockey Story of the Century

No it's not Holy Cross over the Gophers.... the International Ice Hockey Federation announced that the "Miracle on ICE" by the US Team at the 1980 Olympics was the ice hockey story of the century.......I still get chills when I watch it....

Colin Wilson - Will He Stay or Will He Go

There has been a lot of player moves to date (See CHN) and of course the much anticipated signing of T.J. Oshie. But I can’t believe I am going to bring this up about a player who hasn’t been drafted. But is Colin Wilson going to stay with BU or go to the tempting pros? Not a lot has been written about Colin. Is he ready? Is it possible that Colin would be lured to the pros so quickly if he's only being drafted this summer?

So why should he go? Well the money, everyone else is doing it, and what son would not want to follow his Dad into the family business, becoming an NHL player.

So why should he stay? …. Take a page from the former North Dakota star TJ Oshie’s book and stay for the jersey and pride. This is what TJ said about signing with the Blues:

"This could not have become possible without the help of my fans, coaches, and teammates. Thanks to the fans who have stood behind me through the good and bad times. You are truly the best fans in college hockey.

"A special thanks to the coaching staff for teaching and guiding me to become the best hockey player and [sic] man I can be. Most of all I would like to thank my teammates. My success is directly related to our team success. You have become my lifelong friends and I would 'go to war' with you guys any day. I have had the time of my life at UND and am very proud to have worn the Sioux sweater and added to its tradition."

I think Colin should stay with the Terriers for a few more years. The money will always be there as a pro, and being only 18 (19 in October) he'll get another shot at the World Jrs. But, most of all, he could be part of Terrier history if he's the player that leads the Terriers back to the Frozen Four after an 11 year absence. ……… While the Terriors have a lot of work to do to get back to the Frozen Four, if successful, Colin could say ………"I stayed and made Terrier history" as he signs on the dotted line.

OSHIE From the Sioux to the Blues

Well it looks like he is on his way to the Blues.......TJ you are one of the best......

Who's Who for BU - It could happen

Just think if the "stars align" next year the team could have the Gilroy Boys; Matt and Kevin, the Saponari boys Victor and Vinny and Zach and Colby Cohen (no relations)…Yikes…. Bernie Corbett, the play by play announcer for BU and one of the best in the business will have his hands full.

Is this really a surprise?

Is this really a surprise that Jack Parker let Brett Bennett go (See The Daily Free Press)......I don’t think so. BU has three young goalies in the wings and it’s time for a new era in net.

Last year was a disaster. I know what you are thinking, how can a second place team in Hockey East be considered a disaster…..bottom line they did not make the tournament by a few games….Robert Morris ring a bell. Lets be honest it wasn’t Bennett’s play that propelled the team post Beanpot it was the play of the defense in front of him ....and lets not forget the scoring by the MacArthur line.

I am excited to see what happens in net next year. The defense in front of the net will be pretty much the the same as last year ...... a good opportunity for a young goalie to take over the post Curry era.

BU will have a trio of goalies including current member of the Terriers, Adam Kraus, the two new recruits of Kieran Millan, and Grant Rollheiser…. .. Rollie is 6-4….wouldn't it be interesting to have a “Ben Bishop” like goalie.
